Recipe : Sassy Zucchini

I really wish I had come up with the name for this recipe but sadly I did not.

Recently we were at Mister's parents house and his mama whipped this up for our Sunday lunch. Other than the deliciousness of this recipe, I love that it is an old family recipe.

Don't you just love that?

I have some of my Mamaw's old recipes and books with her notes and I really treasure those quite a bit.

After Mister and I both enjoyed this at his Mama's house, I knew it needed to be on our menu soon.

As with generally any recipe I make, I tweaked our version just a little.

I left out the spaghetti and mushroom sauce and added a can of beans for some extra protein, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

I will say we used ground beef and it was delicious, I had originally planned on ground turkey but I think the beef is tastier. Either one would work though.

The really high point of this recipe (sans the deliciousness!!) is that it makes a TON.

We had enough to have dinner one night, leftovers 2 additional times and I took the rest for lunch one day. This is perfect for a crowd. It makes A LOT, is super easy, yummy, full of protein and filling.
